AT THE TRACK.
A Whole Let of Good Rae.
ing Yesterday.

The first race was trotting bout
best three in five, half mile heats,
Spooner entered Black Prince, DIR.
Guion Julian IT,, and Clarke of the
Voltaire, Tricksey. Julian G.. took
the first heat, and Tricksey the
other two. In the second heat
Black Prince was shut out.
THE POSTPONED RACE.
Once more the pool sellers voice
| rang out, calling the crowd to the
machine, and the betting element
surged about the box, all eager to
back their opinions in the pacing
race, which SO far has proved the
most exciting contest of the week.
Prince was the favorite. After
little jockying the horses got thu.
bell, and Pocahontas, who had
been selling in the field, collared
Prince at the turn, and Sweeny's
horse broke badly. The mare held
her ground we'll, and was ahead
when they rounded at the stretch.
The other horses pushed hard to
break the mare, but she had struck
her gait this time, and captured the
heat in 1:I31s. This time on a
half mile heavy track was some /
thing surprising, and was equal to
2 20 on the Sacramento mile track.
The rush for the pool box resulted
in over 5000 being bet inside of ten
and pools were selling when
the bells sent the horses off. The |
horses all went to pieces at the
turn, but Prince pulled out of the
scramble ahead. At the head of |
The home stretch Pocahontas was
,verhauling her rival in fine style,
md just as the wheels almost lap
ped she broke again, amid heart
ending howl from her hackers,
md Prince took the heat, race and
purse in lie.
The race, best four in seven, took
line gamy heats to decide, and was
Is fine race as was ever contested
IN the Coast.
THE BICYCLE RACE.
The slow bicycle race was a
.reat source of amusement. The
bject was to see how slow a man
ould go over given space. Curt
Wright won and Bob and Will
)avis both fell off. The fast race
an eighth of mile was won by
Will Davis.
The quarter mile running dash
ras won by Butcher Boy.
THE PARIS MUTUALs.
The article in yesterdays APPEAL
n the Paris Mntuals caused con-
derable comment, pro and con, on
he track. The article was written
n information received from part
g who claimed that they had not S
,ceived the proper amount of b
loney for their tickets. They kept O
lily yesterday, and admitted that a
lie pools were squarely handled. C
he Agricultural Society, which s
1arges a per cent. for the pool :
rivilege, stated that they had kept s
close check on every pool, and P
lat there had been nothing wrong. t.
asst evening the parties who had p
ade the first complaints acknowl- h
lged that they had been led into Il
e error of supposing that on a b
ce OF three horses five-dollar bet a
/ the winner returned $40 more or b
8 in all, not understanding that o
e percentage was governed by the
,kets sold on the different horses. Ii
ne portion of the article referring o.
the improper manipulation of the W
achine was an injustice to pool q
Hers, and the ticket purchasers t.
no raised the loudest objection to N
e system on the first opening days IL
w admit their mistake. W
The fact that the door is wide b.
en- to allow jockies to throw
ats is admitted by anybody, but IN
is cannot be helped and, for such +
'rk the pool sellers are not re- =
onsible. n,
